Messaging box color

Hey,
Just picked up this phone came from a Note 2.
Anyways i cant find any settings to get the messaging box where all the texts are from everyone to be black. its white/gray and it looks ugly with my swiftkey thanks
Cedric

Hey bud, I'm guessing you want to change the color of the bubbles? Go to the main text screen (shows all your active texts) and hit the menu button on your phone. From there you'll be able to access settings and change a few things.
EDIT= Just realized what you were talking about. I hate it too! I have everything on my phone dark and that's the only screen that's white. I'm not sure if you can change it.

Mines black by default? See my screenshot below.
But someone over in the theming section remade the apk, I think you can just install it, might have to replace the old one I'm not sure since mines black and I don't need it.

Ahh it's going to drive me crazy. And I don't want to root it.

Try this modded apk from the themes section. I believe you can just install it without needing to root

How? No idea, I've got the Rogers S4 up in Canada so maybe its our firmware? My SMS/MMS contacts and dialer are all black by default, wait till you have an unlocked boot loader and maybe flash our ROM? There's also no lag

If anybody wants to try to use my default SMS /MMS here's a link to a zip with both the apk and odex files you'll need to copy into yours system / apps folder
**THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP**
**YOU MUST EXTRACT MANUALLY AND PUSH MANUALLY**
Side note : you make be able to simple side load the apk as normal but I'm not sure. Report back if you'd like
I can also do contacts / dialer as well
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xuepksbhn22lla4/SecMMS.zip

Might be interested in the contacts apk....first going to see if I can get the MMS to at&t to work

Hey buddy I would love for you to help us out. I'm not rooted so I'm not sure if it matters. I extracted the file into the System Application folder. I can click on the APK but after trying to install it, it says cannot install application. Help!

UPDATED! 10/15 [Announcement] Safestrap released by Hashcode

In case you missed it Hashcode released the alpha of Safestrap over here...
[RECOVERY LOCKED] Safestrap Recovery v3.6x
...I am just sharing the news. You need to check the original thread for details and instructions. Please read carefully as there are a few caveats at this time. Like...
CURRENTLY THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTION ENABLED AND INSTALL SS IT BOOTLOOPS. IF YOU FIT THIS DESCRIPTION PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM SAFESTRAP FOR NOW.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
KNOWN ISSUES (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
For locked users: there is a process that happens when you click "Reboot Recovery" from the APK or use the "Recovery" button during the splash screen. Safestrap checks the device for write_protect and if it's enabled will automatically reboot the device to recovery (write_protect disabled) mode. You will see this as a screen with ORANGE text reading: "PLEASE WAIT THE DEVICE IS REBOOTING TO RECOVERY". Followed by the bootloader screen again. You may also see the splashscreen for Safestrap. If you see the splashscreen hit "Recovery" again. It's supposed to automatically take you to into recovery, but it doesn't work correctly yet.

And there are other things you need to read as well. So head over there and check out the OP and enjoy.
10/15 UPDATE BELOW
Hashcode said:
NEW Safestrap in the OP Link: v3.63
ATTENTION: IF UPGRADING FROM v3.62 or EARLIER USE "REMOVE RECOVERY" IN THE APK BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW VERSION. I CHANGED THE HIJACK IN v3.63 -- DIFFERENT FILES ARE BEING CHANGED NOW.
CHANGES:
[3.63] I re-wrote the hijack to work at a MUCH better point during the boot. This cleans up most of the "jankyness" we were previously seeing with BT/Wifi and adb serial # on the stock rom. ** Note when upgrading to v3.63: Make sure to use the "Remove Recovery" in the previous version BEFORE installing the new APK. **
[3.63] The 2nd-init hijack was updated to work w/ Android 4.3 (for when that's pushed)
[3.62] Better handling for the virtual partitions
[3.62] Some bugfixes for /mnt handling
[3.62] Customizable sizes for partitions (you can use the defaults if unsure). Use the "+" or "-" buttons on the rom-slot creation screen to add / remove 100mb per click.
Enjoy

You cannot use it with encryption.

I just saw the tweet and thought I would share it. You'll have to double check the original thread. But it looks like (to me and I could be completely wrong) that as long as you haven't enabled encryption then you should be good.

Looking for that split screen feature that came with phone

I rooted my phone with the shabbypenguin build but don't have the ability to hold the back button to split screens. Is there an APK I can download or zip to install for this?
Thanks!

I'm assuming you're running cyanogen? If so no. It's a touchwiz only feature as the framework is completely different

I don't believe it's cyanogen, basically just rooted with the sprint hotspot hack and custom recovery. I currently use the touchwiz launcher afaik, is the framework different?

If you just Rooted the stock firmware the setting can be found by going to settings -> my device -> display-> check the multi window check box. And you should be able to run split screen

[Q] Usb Debugging disabled by default

Hey.
Could any experienced developer point me to the right place/commit for disabling usb debugging by default in userdebug builds? Of course I'm talking about sources, not "normal" way of disabling it through settings.
Windows doesn't like USB debugging, especially if we have no adb drivers support. I'd like to disable it in my own build but I can't find the way how to do so .
Any tip greatly appreciated!

No. That commit can never be merged because in case a dev creates a ROM to test and it get stuck at boot, he won't be able to get logcat.

But he can disable it by default, then he commit it for the nightly.
To enable adb by default, it's not good security.
Is always good, to set default settings for installer.
For developing, I can understand it, that's is enabled.

I don't want to get it merged to the base. I want to add it to my own base/fork, because I don't need adb enabled by default. I know that it's good to have it enabled in debug/test builds but it's not being used by 99% of the users.

ART and Dalvik runtime

I see that cm 11 has to option to change from Dalvik to ART.
Any precautions or special instructions one should take before switching?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Basically I wouldn't do it unless you full data wipe, in fact I'd wipe everything, install cm, boot, flip the switch, wipe system and caches, flash ROM, flash gapps and cross my fingers. Seems to break every app (wiping caches no help) and essentially force me into a full data wipe / restore to get a phone back if I try without a wipe.
Hint: always nandroid, Hint: there is a Nexus 5 art to dalvik flashable zip which I knows works too. (Google the same), Hint: its been awhile since I used ART.

Well if you have newly installed the CM rom,switch to ART right after you set up the ROM initially that way the system will have less apps to convert to ART runtime but one can do it even after installing all the apps on their phone would just take longer that's all. Just be sure not to install any non ART runtime supported app cause if you do and when you reboot it will switch back to DALVIK. that's the only precaution you need to take

only one drawback i see in A.R.T. is, its not compatible with Xposed framework

ART made my old nexus 7 feel like a new device. Apps open up faster. Scrolling is overall smoother everywhere and stuttering is greatly reduced.
Haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.
And yes I did use the option in the developer settings to switch.
